Alternatives to a certificate

For AI and HPC, proficiency is assessed in the oral examination if you provide none of the listed certificates. English and American Studies accepts no certificates other than those it lists. Duolingo is not listed for any of the three.

Minimum vs competitive score
Where University of Turin (Università degli Studi di Torino) publishes an IELTS score, it is the minimum: the floor an application has to meet to be considered, not a score that guarantees an offer.
Competitive programmes, and courses with far more applicants than places, may expect more than the minimum, and some departments set their own overall or per-skill scores, often for writing or speaking. The course page has the final word, so check it before you book a test.
If you are close to the line, aim for a margin above it: one weak skill can miss the requirement even when the overall band clears it. Not sure where you stand? Take a free IELTS mock test and get a band for each skill.
